The squonk is the most miserable critter of American tall tales. Its skin is so covered in warts, blisters, and abrasions that it's disgusting to look at, and the squonk knows this. Thus, it hides underground during the day and at night is constantly crying as it hunts for food.

The hugag is a legendary fearsome critter from American tall tales. It resembles a bald moose whose extensive upper-lip prevents it from grazing (it eats bark and twigs). The hugag's jointless legs means it can't lie down, and instead sleeps by leaning against a tree.
